Galapagos Calendar

SEPTEMBER

• Peak of the "garúa" season, when the weather is at its coldest and potentially there is fog and sea mist in many locations. The air temperature reaches its lowest levels, 19C-66F.
• Galapagos Penguins show remarkable activity on Bartolome. Since May swimmers and snorkelers can be delighted at Bartolome with penguins active at the surface or torpedo-like while underwater.
• Sea lions are very active. Females have reached estrus stage, and so harem-gathering males are constantly barking and fighting. Shore fighting is heavy. Western and central islands are the most active ones in terms of sea lions' activities.
• Most species of sea birds remain quite active at their nesting sites
